Interesting... I have just been researching on Oliver Cromwell, as I am doing restoration theatre... the theatre that came right after him.
And if I may say so, everything Cromwell thought for was totally against what I live for. He banned music, singing, dancing, theatre, Christmas, easter, sex. What the hell would my life be without theatre? At one point I was totally on his side, thinking... yes lets get rid of royalty. But he ended up turning into a king himself, and made it ten times worse. After Cromwell died and his son failed miserably and Charles II took over, the introduction of political parties and the idea of Parliament working with the king, plays a great part in todays society. The only good Oliver Cromwell did in this world was make us realize that... his whole attitudes were awful.
Let people do what they want, its our lives let us live it.
